My son breaking 100 after 6 games of 18 holes

It has been a long school  holiday for my son Jazton. He has been waking me up at 7 am to play 9 holes before I get to work during his Xmas break.

Of course the fact that most of my golfing friends are away on holidays made it reasonable for me to wake up earlier during a work week to play golf with my son.

I have also been playing with golf my wife Annie and Jaz for 2 Thursdays while the guys were away.

Anyway, my son Jaz has only been playing 9 holes the last 4 months.  He had played 18 holes on a number of occasions but found walking 18 holes a challenge.

This Sunday, he woke me up at 9 am instead of his usual 7 am for a game.

We went to Collier Park and paid for 9 holes. I was not ready to play 18 holes as I had a late Sat night.

I did tell him that if he played at below 53 for the 1st nine, I would play a 2nd nine with him.

He played 52 on the first nine and I played 46.

 He begged me to play another 9 holes. The guys at the club were helpful and put us to the Pines 9 holes.

My 2nd nine was not that great but Jaz hit 3 pars and finally ended with a 46 which was much better than my 2nd nine.

So, he broke 100 and hit 98 on his last day of the school holidays after having woken me up on numerous week days to play golf before my office works beckoned.

I am proud of him and know he will do much more in golf than I ever did.

In the evening, Annie, Jaz and Tyz my youngest son went for golf tuition at Burswood. Yes, we are a serious golfing family although Tyz is still unsure. I am sure he will see the beauty of the game and how it will keep the family occupied as a family.

To the family enjoying golf as a family.

Golf in the New Year

2010 did not start off very auspiciously. I had a terrible game at Joondalup on the 3rd day of Jan 2010. I am too embarrassed to post the score as it was well above 100.

The Pua brothers have all gone on holidays and many of the other players are also away.

In their absence, I have been getting my son Jazton and my wife Annie excited about the game.

Annie , Jazton and I played at Burswood last Thursday instead of having my usual game with the boys. It was pleasant enough to play 18 holes with my son and wife on a Thursday. Jaz hit 100 while I played to 97. This was the 1st 18 holes for the missus and her score was of course quite high. However, I know her tenacity when she wants to improve in a game. That's one of the biggest reason why I love her so much.

I am getting new clubs for the missus as she definitely does not fit the current ones which was bought for her by myself to surprise her. Of course it was all an elaborate plan to get her involved in my addiction. I think it is working. Ha ha ha ( evil laugh).

My eldest son Jazton is totally hooked and will drag me out of bed in the morning to play 9 holes irregardless of the weather. He has dreams of turning pro. I have showed him articles about how much pros earn when they do not play well. He has the potential but who knows.

I just wish I can persuade my youngest son Tyzton to get interested. That way, I get a 4 ball going and am still with the family. He has so much talent but refuses to get involved.

During the Xmas break there was lots of golfing and the biggest concern was to adjust family time with golf. I am sure Harris understands what I am talking about.

Will be playing with my son Jaz and my wife again this Thursday till all the guys come back to Perth. My son has to break 100. He played to 100 last week and shocked me with some drives that were further than mine.

Here's to my son beating me.
